Live Video: Visitation service for Milwaukee Police Officer Kou Her

The visitation begins Saturday for Milwaukee Police Officer Kou Her, who died June 18 when his car was struck by a suspected drunken driver who fled the scene.

The three-day service is in keeping with Hmong tradition, which holds that the time is needed for the soul to travel to its birthplace, the afterlife and eventually reincarnation. It can be viewed via live stream here.

Her's funeral and burial are Monday morning.

Her was killed on his way home from work at District 4. The family received more than $20,000 in funeral donations through an online fundraiser organized by the officer's sister and niece.
